Rumor: “Apple Watch 2” battery will be 35% bigger

We already talked here on the site about the possible news that I will see in the ?Apple Watch 2?. The main one, without a doubt, is the possible inclusion of a GPS. Even because of this novelty, or Apple will do a phenomenal job of optimizing the sensors / software / processor itself (it is rumored that the S2 chip that will equip the watch manufactured by TSMC in a 16 nanometer process instead of 28 nanometers from the S1 ) or having to work on the gadget?s battery.

Many I include myself in this believe that the "Apple Watch 2" can be presented next to the iPhone 7, next week. And with the proximity of the date, what images have already appeared of the supposed battery of the 42mm model? If they are really true, we will have a considerable increase: from 0.94Wh / 246mAh to 1.28Wh / 334mAh, an improvement of just over 35%, which should also arrive proportionally to the 38mm model.

However, this does not mean that the second generation Apple Watch will have a 35% longer battery life than the current model. Only the addition of GPS alone consumes a lot, not to mention possible other news that we still don't know. So, I bet on the old formula that Apple makes with the iPhone and iPad: improving the device's features by offering the same battery life.

Other rumors about news on the Apple Watch 2 include even greater water resistance (perhaps an official waterproof seal, with monitoring of water activities) and a barometer.
